CPU mining is bad; they're not that well suited for hashing as GPUs, their cost is too much in comparison to their hashing speeds and you can't scale them (1 PC = 1 CPU, maybe 2).
using a gui miner i can use 4 cpu's and have had success mining many altcoins, we are on solar power here and I'm curious to know if the high power bills were the only reason people say cpu mining is dead? I've got my eye on a new desktop computer with octo-core processor for my next mining project.

I see alot of people are saying alt mining is dead due to the high cost of power consumption. If I run a CPU miner on solar power, would that make it worth doing?
